The fact the apostles used so many quotes from the Old Testament does show that they considered it extremely important. They also treated it as if it was God's revealed word.

The apostles explained Old Testament passages using similar methods to other Jews from the time. These methods included [[pesher]], [[midrash]], [[allegory]] and [[typology]]. However, the apostles interpreted the Old Testament in a radically different way from their contemporary Jews because they saw it through with their understanding of the gospel and Jesus as the fulfilment of the Old Testament.
